Hyères

The nearby Golden Islands including Porquerolles offer some of the clearest waters in France ideal for cycling across scenic trails or spending slow afternoons on quiet coves while the town itself blends open air markets palm lined avenues artisan boutiques and botanical gardens into one flowing experience that feels both relaxed and inspiring making Hyères a place where history nature and gentle activity coexist effortlessly.
